;;; Commentary:
;; There are 3 lists for the left, centre and right of the mode-line. They're
;; the same as mode-line-format in terms of general schema as they're fed
;; directly into that variable. Padding strings are automatically generated
;; based on these segments so be sure to set these.
;;; Code:

"List of elements that are placed on the left of the mode-line")
(defvar bml/centre-segment nil
"List of elements that should be on the centre of the mode-line")
(defvar bml/right-segment nil
"List of elements that should be on the right of the mode-line")
(defvar bml/--minimum-padding 4
"Minimum size of padding string.")
(defun bml/--get-padding-size (other-size)
"Compute length of padding to ensure string of size OTHER is on an
extreme end to CENTRE-SEGMENT."
(let* ((centre-size (length (format-mode-line bml/centre-segment)))
(win-width (window-width))
(margins (window-margins))
(width (if (null (car margins))
win-width
(+ (car margins) win-width (cdr margins)))))
(- (floor (/ width 2)) (floor (/ centre-size 2)) other-size)))
(defun bml/--generate-padding (segment)
"Make padding string to separate center segment from SEGMENT."

(make-string (if (< padding-size bml/--minimum-padding)
bml/--minimum-padding
padding-size)
?\s)))
(defun bml/setup-mode-line ()
"Call this to setup the mode-line when:
- first loading the package.
- segments are updated."
